Princess Anne unveils statue to Skye Terriers

A new life-size bronze statue has been unveiled by Princess Anne on Skye in honour to the island's famous breed of dog.

Installed in the grounds of the Museum of the Isles in the grounds of Armadale Castle, it shows the prick-ear and drop-ear varieties of the Skye Terrier.

The terrier has been described as Britain's most endangered native breed of dog.
Numbers of the breed have been in decline in recent years.

More than 40 dogs and their owners attended the unveiling ceremony.
